Abandoned Baby

Chapter 132

While the family were enjoying their day out, Catherine noticed a familiar girl at a table putting on her roller blades and helmet.

"Mama...is that Tita (Aunty) Carla?" Catherine asked her mommy about the girl sitting at the table putting on her rollerblades.

The mention of Carla from her daughter caused her heart to jump. She was here?

"Where baby?" Bless asked her daughter looking for the young teenager.

"There mama." The little girl pointed to the table where the raven haired teenager was putting on her rollerblades and kneepads and had her helmet on the table next to her.

Bless looked closer and spotted the teenager to be turning around to grab her helmet to put it on before starting her day.

"Mama, do you think we should go there and say hi?" The toddler asked her mom sitting on her lap.

"I don't know baby..." Bless wasn't too sure what to say since after her disappearance.

"I think you should talk to Tita." (Aunty) Her daughter suggested knowing Carla had to be worried about them.

"Do you think mama is doing the right thing honey?" Her mommy asked her honestly if she should talk to her friend knowing she had worried her after she had left.

"Yes mama. I love you. Talk to her." The toddler told her mommy.

"Honey, do you think you could look after the kids, There's someone I have to talk too."Bless requested from Drew knowing she needed to talk to the young girl before it was too late and couldn't talk to her.

"Where are you going babe?" The Scot wanted to know seeing the look on his future wife's face.

"I need to talk to Carla. Catherine seen her." She spoke softly grabbing Drew's hand telling him.

"Where is she?" The tall superstar asked his fiance wondering where the girl was.

"Over there." His future wife pointed where the girl was checking her roller blades one last time before setting off to go skate.

"I think she deserves an explanation babe. Go talk to her before it's too late." Drew reassured that she should go talk to her friend.

"Thanks. I think I will."

"I'll watch the kiddos." Drew let her know he'd watch them as Alex was in the stroller while Catherine was sitting beside him.

"Honey, mommy will be right back okay. Be good for dada."

"I will mama." Catherine promised as Bless eskimo kissed her daughter before walking off to go talk to Carla.

The young girl could feel her heart beating at a fast pace as she walked up to the young girl who was ready to get up to roll off. She wasn't sure what to say to her friend but knew she needed an explanation.

"Carla." Bless called to her.

The young teenager heard her name being called and was in shock to hear the most familiar voice as she looked up and gave out a gasp.

"Bless?" The 19 year old girl was in shock when she saw her friend approach her.

"It's me Carla..." Bless sniffled nodding to her friend.

The young girl had tears in her eyes in shock as she launched herself to hug Bless just happy to see her.

"You're really back." The teenage girl was happy to have her friend back and hugged her tight to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

"Oo Carla. Nandito ako." (Carla, I'm here.) Bless sniffled stroking Carla's hair reassuring she wasn't dreaming.

"Where were you, you had me worried sick..." Carla broke the embrace to ask where her friend went.

"I had to get away from everything...everyone...I'm sorry if disappointed ka sa akin." (with me.)

"It's okay Ate (sis). I forgive you. Just don't ever scare me like that ever again. Worried ako sa inyo wala ka, Si Catherine, yung baby mo." (I was worried about you, Catherine, and your baby.)

"Wait...hindi ka buntis at nasaan si Catherine..." (You're not pregnant and where is Cat?) Her young friend noticed Bless' stomach was flat and no longer large and wondered where her daughter was.

"Um...yung bata...Nandoon sa papa nila." (The children...They're with their daddy.)

"Ano, dalawang likod magkasama matapos ginulangan siya sa iyo?" (What, you are are back together after he cheated on you?) Carla couldn't believe they would get back together after what he did to her and was afraid he would hurt her again.

"Opo...Engaged kami ngayon...Gusto namin mag balik kami kasi mahal ko siya at hindi ko gusto ang mga bata sa makita sa amin pakikipaglaban at para sa kanilang kapakanan kailangan nila sa amin. (Yes...we're engaged now. We wanted to get back together because I lose him and I don't want the kids to see us fighting and for their sake they need us.)

"Ate, I don't see you get hurt...I don't trust him." Carla didn't trust Drew and was afraid of what he may do to them again.

"Carla, believe me. Drew, he won't hurt me and the kids again. Pangako sakin siya nandito siya ngayon sa buhay ko. Mahal ko siya...mahal sakin si Drew. Gusto namin pag kasal (He promises to be here in my life. I love him and he loves me. We want to get married) so we could be a family again. Ayokong kung wala siya... (I don't want to be without him.)

"Ate, I just want the best for you. I'll try to be happy for you for the kids sake and your sake but I promise if he hurts you, Saktan ko siya. Pangako yan." (I will hurt him. I promise that.)

"Nandito yung baby. Ang cute cute siya. Parang muhka siya kay Drew. Si Catherine, laki na siya." (The baby is here. He's so cute. He looks like Drew. Catherine, she's getting big now.)

"I'm sure they are." Carla giggled knowing Bless' kids had to be adorable.

"Tita (Aunt) Carla!" Catherine squeaked happy to see her.

"Catherine!" Carla giggled as she saw the little girl come up to her and hug her.

"My you've grown young lady." Carla saw the little girl was now a full grown toddler and had her hair which was longer and was up in cute pigtails.

"I did. I a big girl mommy says." The toddler smiled her cute toothy smile towards her favorite aunt.

"She's right. You're so cute." The teenager giggled looking at the cute little girl.

"I big sister now Tita." (Aunty).

"You're mommy says you are and you help take care of the baby?" Carla asked.

"Yes I do and I wuv the baby." The little girl told her that she loves Alex.

"Awwww that's so sweet honey." Carla thought it was the most precious thing for her niece to say that she loved her baby brother.

"I help mama and dada take care of Awex." Catherine was proud to tell the teenage woman.

"Awwwww...that's good. You have to help your mommy and daddy with Alex now that you're a big sister."

"I independent just like mama." Catherine told her.

"Well not all the time baby but you are independent when you help hold Alex with my help and dada's too." Bless told her daughter as she lifted her to sit her on her lap.

A few minutes later Drew came up to them with Alex.

"Hey Car." Drew greeted Carla softly as he held Alex hoping she'd say something to him.

Carla glared at the Scot as Bless could sense the tension and couldn't blame her and Catherine could sense her aunty didn't like him much either and knew things went down badly between them when her mommy and daddy used to not get together.

"Listen, Drew...I'm going to be honest. I don't like you nor trust you but if you hurt my best friend and your children, I'll hurt you got it." The young woman couldn't stand the man in front of her that hurt her friend and the kids and didn't want to be anywhere near him after what he did but she would only support Bless because she loved him and for the sake of her kids.

"Carla, I know you hate me but I LOVE Bless and OUR children. wouldn't do anything to hurt them anymore. Bless and I are getting married because I LOVE her and she LOVES me. I don't want to lose her or the children. I lost them once and NOT willing to lose them again."

"See that you don't. I don't want to see Bless hurt because of what you did to her and to the children. I'm only here for Bless because I don't want to see her unhappy but if you do a thing to hurt them again, I swear Drew, I won't be afraid to hurt you." Carla swore glaring at him hoping he understood her.

"Carla, gusto mag tanong sa inyo..." (I want to ask you something.) Bless hoped it was okay to ask her to be her maid of honor when she and Drew got married.

"Anong yan?" (What's that?) Carla asked while getting ready not wanting to face Drew any longer but would do anything for her friend for her sake.

"Gusto kita ang maid of honor ko sa kasal namin." (I want you to be my maid of honor when we get married.) The young woman announced.

"Kapag?" (When?) Carla asked.

"Two weeks sa 16th of May..." Bless told her softly.

"Ate, isn't that a little rushed?"

"Alam ko but gusto kami ang civil wedding then siguro 1 or 2 years mag kasal namin sa church." (I know but we want a civil wedding then 1 or 2 years we'll get married in a church.)

"Mahal ko si Drew Carla. Please. Gusto kita doon sa kasal namin." (I love Drew Carla. Please. I want you to be there at our wedding.) Bless persuaded her best friend wanting her to be there as her maid of honor.

Carla sighed and took Bless' hands.

"Okay...I'll only do it for you Bless kasi mahal kita at ang bata." (because I love you and the kids.) The young teen promised her friend that she would be there just for them.

"Thank you Carla. Any way one of these days we need to really need to catch up on everything." Bless told the young girl they needed to get back together and hang out.

"Agreed. Maybe this weekend. Hindi ako busy." (I'm not busy.)

"Sure. Kung okay sa inyo." (If that's okay with you.)

"Okay lang sa akin." (It's okay with me.) Carla reassured that it would be nice to talk and get together for the first time.

"Any way I need to get my cardio on then may project ako sa school gusto mag tapos. (I need to finish for school.) Promise to see you this weekend." The young woman promised as she hugged Bless.

"Bye Tita (Aunty) have fun." Catherine told her favorite aunty.

"Bye baby see you soon. Be a good girl for your mommy and daddy okay." Her aunty kneeled down next to her niece giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Promise." The toddler smiled.

Carla got up to do her exercise after speaking to them.

"Well that went well..." Bless half smiled at least things were okay between them.

"She hates me." Drew sighed knowing Carla hated him and didn't blame her.

"She doesn't hate you hon. Disappointed but not hate. Hate is too strong of a word." Bless reassured things would be okay once things settled down.

"Babe, I don't know about that... She's right. I treated you like crap and you don't deserve me." Drew knew he was disappointed in himself knowing he hurt her and the kids and still felt that regret in his heart.

"Baby, don't say that. That was the past. Leave it there and move on. I forgive you and I love you. We're here to work things out and I want it to stay that way." Bless told him as she put her arms around him.

"I hope one day she'll see that I've changed. I don't want anybody else but you babe."

"I know honey...Right now let's focus on our wedding and make sure to call our family and friends to let them know."

"Sounds like a good idea." Drew agreed to that.

"Come here baby." The tall wrestler told his daughter taking her hand.

"Dada, can I have a piggy back ride?" Catherine asked him if it was okay.

"I don't see why not butterfly. Hop on." Her father smiled bending down to let her get on his shoulders.

"Giddyap." She giggled as Bless giggled watching the cute interaction between father and daughter as she pushed the baby's stroller as they continued to walk the park till they got home and started planning the wedding.
